Reading
Put together from what the tradition attributes to each body, sign and house — a portrait to enjoy, not a verdict. The positions beside it are the part that can be checked.
☉ Sun in Libra · house 9
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 2
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 2 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.75°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.88°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.96°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.73°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.25°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.59°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
